A WOMAN was ‘punched’ and ‘headbutted’ by her boyfriend in a bloody attack is calling for a tougher sentence after he was ordered to pay £75 in compensation, after he was spared jail.

Louise Reed, 27, has lashed out at the sentence issued by Teesside Magistrates' Court after Robert Jenney, 30, knocked her unconscious and made her feel like a prisoner in her own home.

In a move to secure justice and safety for women who could come into contact with Mr Jenney, from Middlesborough, Ms Reed wrote a Facebook post.

In it, she told how her ex had charged towards her with an “unforgettable look of hate and anger” on his face and threw her around the house eventually forcing her to climb out of her kitchen window with a bloodied face.

After two attacks, Jenney was issued with a 12-month community order for two assaults.

He was also given a 12-month restraining order, ten days of rehabilitation activity and owes £165 in court costs.

Ms Reed, who has a three-year-old daughter, said: "The sentenced he received is disgusting, he should have been sent to prison because he could have killed me.

"I suffer from nightmares and have trouble sleeping, I need to move out of my house and have a fresh start with my daughter.

"I am suffering from depression but he is free to get on with his life, it feels like he's been let off."

The pair first met aged 13 and after a chance meeting at Middlesborough FC match last season they sparked up a relationship, the magistrates court was told on August 23.

Ms Reed says Jenney became “controlling, aggressive, unrecognisable” just three months into the relationship.

The arguments turned physically violent on July 21 when Jenney attacked Ms Reed but she decided to give him a second chance until he attacked her again two weeks later.

The G4s administrator also wrote about how she had initially thought she could help Jenney to deal with his “demons”, encouraging him to get medical support with his anger and to talk openly about his emotions.

In the post, published on August 8, Ms Reed warned others to look out for abusive signs: “When your faced with the person you thought you had a future with charging towards you with what I can only describe as an unforgettable look of hate and anger on their face, that strong independent woman disappears.
